gh123,

Your friend probably should get checked out even if it is just a cheap clinic. His gait and some other symptoms will show whether he has a problem needing treatment. Even a paramedic or Army medic would have some skills to tell if he should seek emergency care.

What state are you in? Some states have brain injury trust funds that may be able to help him.

In the mean time, if you see him with a serious loss of motor control or balance or struggling to talk clearly, or with a severe head ache, take or get him to an emergency room.

His concussions from high school football complicate his current condition. He may have reached a critical mass of injury that means he needs to take extra care to get any recovery. What is he doing to try to help with recovery?

Let us know how he is doing. He should not be going this alone.
